It has already been a month since I received the phone call that changed my life. Who knew that one phone call could throw your life into an upheaval of emotions and thoughts. 

December 23, 2014 is not a date I will soon forget. This is the day I received the phone call from World Race letting me know my application to join the September 2015 Race 3 had been accepted. The excitement flowed through me, my thoughts raced. As soon as I hung up I knew I had to tell my biggest supporters. Even though I knew I would see my parents in only few hours to celebrate Christmas with them, my sister and brother-in-law, I had to share my exciting news with someone besides the plants sitting on my table 

While many people don’t think life-changing news will arrive with the ring of a telephone, it happens more often than we think. With the ring of my phone I was accepted to participate in a life-changing event set in motion by a newspaper article and the prodding of God.

I was accepted into a group I will call “Family” for 11 months. 

I was accepted to work in a movement of bring God to the “…least of these”

And I couldn’t be more excited or honored.
